I have a full set of TRD shocks with front springs from a 2014 Tacoma. They were take offs from an upgrade on my brother's rig.

I'm wondering if they would fit my 2003 4runner V8? I have already spec'ed OME 895E coils springs for the back to replace the stock air suspension springs. I'd also like to install Firestone air bags in the coils to correct for heavy loadings when I do backcountry travel.

Are they similar to Bilstein 5100 shocks which fit the 2014 Tacoma? At least on the websites they are in the same fit family.

What is the adjustment range on the TRD shocks?

The front struts have TRD springs installed. Are they longer than stock springs for a increase in height?

I'd like to do a mild lift 1.5-2 inches, and keep a slight forward rake in the stance. I can buy new shocks, it's not a problem becouse I can take a payday loans in TN, but if I can save few dollars, why not.

Thanks for your feedback!

Lots of unknowns between the separate year models. Dig a little more and get specs for your ‘03 4Runner shocks/struts/springs and do likewise for the Taco. Compare these numbers. Only issue I see would be spring cup position on the strut. I’m about to install Tundra struts on my gx470 because the previous struts were the 5100 for the v6 4Runner. Physically they have similar dimensions but the Tundra strut is about 1/2” shorter. I don’t know yet if it’ll be preload (shaft) shorter or shorter under the cup until I get the coil off of the 4Runner strut. I’m wanting the increased dampening of the slightly larger bodied Tundra strut.

Hope that may help you some.
